Welcome! The Macnaughtan research group is located in Choppin Hall on the Baton Rouge campus of Louisiana State University. We use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and other biophysical methods to understand the physical and structural properties of proteins and complex carbohydrates. Please visit the links at the top of the page to meet our group members and learn more about our research.
